  2. Timeline • Isaiah saw five kings come and go – over 50 years

You just never know how your kids will turn out. • Douglas Connolley

  7. Present judgement cont… • Theology of 1-39: • Lord of history • Supreme over idols • A promised remnant • Reconciliation • Restoration of Zion • The Messiah Alec Motyer, Isaiah (IVP, 1993) p37-38
